Note you don't need to run hdsploader with hdsp9652 cards.

There was a problem with the number of channels in a recent driver version
for hdsp9652 cards. It was fixed in cvs yesterday. Unfortunately
sourceforge's cvs has a 24 hours delay for anonymous checkout. You can
check the number of channels using alsamixer or amixer. If the number
reported is 14 instead of 26, then you need to update your tree or
manually apply the patch I posted on this list 2 days ago.
